The quality.of the matter used frequently disturbs the editorial start of a newspaper; but the quantity, never. It is infinitely more bothersome to know what to leave out. than it is to find out what to put in. There is one key to success in journalfSci and that U good judgment. Papers succeed just in the degree that its editors know what to leave out. Of course. It is well known, that news items are to bo had for the clipping and that editorial thunder is as easily manufactured as tne stage material of the same kind. The locals are picked up here, there, and everywhere. , People get acquain­ ted with the reporters and the report­ ers with the peofle.

The Market Fair of )^|| week was, perhaps, net so pronounced a siwcess as the first one litsome respects, but much greater, after all. than could have been contemplated from the miserable weather and roads. A large amount of stock was on the grounds and the s^es very satisfactorv. The two fairs have demonstrated the fact that the people waht them, will attend them and will bring their stuff for sale, and that which wss an experimental aflair at the beginning may now he considered a fixed fact.

However,>w<j are p'eased to note that our attentive and obliging young friend. Miss Ella Allen, who has served as pest office clerk for the pust year, will now be promoted to first assistant, aud tlie patrons of the office tiny be assured that their interests will in no wise suffer becnuse'of auv change that has or is to occur.

The Banner ol" the World, tho nobbi­ est little Parlor Heater made, at fi. M. Howe's. / last Thursday, at an advanced age. Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore lived for many years near Richmond, and were well known to all the old settlors. Some years ago tiiuy moved West and for the last four, have made their home in Missouri. Her tailing health made her desirous to be near her daughter, and she' was brought here a few weeks ago lhat she might have the solace of the tender­ ness and care of kindred in tier last days. Her disease had been of long duration, if we recollet rightly what she herself told us, nearly 50 years. It had been always considered peculiar from its unusual manifestations, the most prominent one of which was a periodical pain of the stomadi of a most excrutiating character. For the last few mouths of her life it had come on regularly between ten and twelve, day and night. She was treated by numerous physicians with only tran­ sient help. It was her desire that, her stomach should be examined after death, and an autopsy was made ou Friday by Drs. Bennett^ and -Ward. The stomach was greatly dilated, the pyl­ oric orifice narrowed, full of evidences of chronic inflammatory action, aud more recent inflammatory softening. It coutained half a teaspoon Jul of THE UTICA FAME, UHelt Jem aud Mohawk Cottage Par­ lor Wood stoves ean all bo fouud at John 1. Story's.
